The db was developed before historical transactions existed and so players were only ever assigned by OOTP to their first major league team. I had a Real Teams version of the db at the time as well. Gambo took that Real Teams version and folded it into his own db. I then moved on to the High School version I currently play with and update.

In the HS version all players are available at 18 (or earlier if their professional career started before then, I think 15 is the youngest). Some go to college for a year or seven and some go straight to the pros. With recalc on they progress through the minor league system and generally show up in the majors around the age they really did with the skill set they really possessed.
The db also contains lots and lots of Negro, PCL and Asian players and I add/update more with each release. The Gambo db only has a few of these baseball players.

It sounds like you really want the Gambo db, not the Spritze db. The Spritze db exists so a player can make all the player personnel decisions from the first draft day through their entire minor and major league organizations. I guess it is built more for a cradle to grave historical fictional league than the Gambo database. They both use the same set of stats. There are just more player years (and players) in the Spritze db.
